Quick run to Wilton and back with No 1 son to see how his slightly bent Focus is progressing in the bodyshop. I was "testing" the repaired wheel, avoiding all kerbs.

Sad really, the last storm was the cause, wrenched the door out of his grip and damaged door and wing.

The insurers wanted to scrap the car, a 2007 low milage 3 door Focus ST worth about £6k. The body shop fitted a salvaged door, new wing and door hinges and sprayed the wing all for £1400.
